Adopt Sahara

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Sahara was found together with her four kittens outside Uppsala. Now that her kittens have moved on, it's time for Sahara to find her own home. Sahara is a calm and cautious female cat who likes to keep a certain distance from people. She doesn't want to be petted, but she is happy to be nearby or comes up and sniffs your hand to check if there's something good. The emergency shelter also says that Sahara's meowing has a little funny chirping sound. She is missing a tail, but that is nothing that worries her. Sahara likes other cats very much and gets along well with the other cats in the emergency shelter. She also accepts the shelter's dog without any problems. Sahara is therefore looking for a home where she can have a cat friend. She wishes for a home where she can be on her own terms. Sahara needs to eat hypoallergenic food.

Sahara blev upphittad tillsammans med sina fyra kattungar utanför Uppsala. Nu när hennes ungar har hunnit flytta, är det dags för Sahara att hitta sig ett eget hem.Sahara är en lugn och försiktig honkatt som vill hålla ett visst avstånd till människor. Hon vill inte bli klappad, men hon är gärna i närheten eller kommer fram och nosar på handen för att undersöka om det finns något gott. Akuthemmet berättar också att Saharas jamande har ett litet lustigt kvittrande läte. Hon saknar även svans men det är inget som bekymrar henne.Sahara tycker mycket om andra katter och umgås mer än gärna med de andra katterna i akuthemmet. Hon accepterar även akuthemmets hund utan problem. Sahara söker därför ett hem där hon kan få sällskap av en kattkompis. Hon önskar sig ett hem där hon får vara med på sina egna villkor. Sahara behöver äta allergifoder.

About Sahara

What life with Sahara looks like

Sahara is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Uppsala Katthem in Uppsala.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇸🇪Adopting from Sweden

Swedish shelters require an adoption application and home visit. Animals are chipped, vaccinated, and sterilized. Cross-border placements within the EU use the standard pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sahara, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sahara?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Uppsala Katthem handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sahara on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sahara if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Uppsala Katthem will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Sahara already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Sahara isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Uppsala Katthem early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sahara and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (SV). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
